A sexy category romance from Entangled’s Brazen imprint…
He’ll do whatever it takes to get her against the boards…
Sidelined by a potentially career-ending injury, the only thing hockey player Ryan Douglas should be thinking about is his recovery. But after sharing a near death experience with a spunky brunette, the only thing on his mind is five and a half feet of sexy sarcasm. And he’ll … feet of sexy sarcasm. And he’ll do whatever it takes to get her back in his bed–even if it means playing dirty.
Chloe Jacobs is done with fairytales. And men. She’s kissed her share of frogs and what’s it gotten her? Dumped by text–again. The last thing she needs is a pushy, arrogant hockey player testing her resolve. Especially one who’s sinfully good with his hands and thinks date-by-blackmail is a perfectly acceptable social convention.
Ryan wants to play games? Fine by her, but this is one faceoff he’s going to lose.

Ryan a hockey player meets Chloe during a robbery in a bodega. They have instant attraction
and chemistry together.. The book continues with their story. Both have had bad relationships and
have major trust issues. I like the story line with Ryan falling for Chloe and she being the alpha heroine. A take charge girl who lets you know what she is thinking. This book is an enjoyable
read without too much angst or drama. If you like you like sports romance this is a good book.
After being dumped yet again Chloe Jacobs has decided it’s time to take herself off the market, she sees no reason to further risk her heart for the sake of finding her happily ever after that’s never going to come along. She has decided her best course of action is to no longer subject herself to dating or anything that may lead to a relationship, however, she is not opposed to a little “no strings attached” fun between the sheets every now and again. After being dumped via text she decides a night alone at home with a good margarita or two and some ice cream is the best way to heal her broken heart. Now all she needs to do is make a quick trip to the store for supplies, and she’ll be ready to commence drowning her sorrows, but shortly after arriving at the store a burglary ensues and a slightly arrogant, but oh so handsome stranger comes to her rescue. After he saves the day, he insists on walking her home, and she insists she is more than capable of getting home safely, but he’s not taking no for an answer. The longer their together the harder it is for her to resist his charm, she’s dying to kiss him, but so scared of falling prey to old habits…

This was my first encounter with Ms. Bonds work and I have to admit that I really enjoyed it, so much so, I plan to revisit the series in the very near future. I love reading sports related romance stories and this one DEFINITELY hit the mark in all the right places. I was barely three sentences in and knew immediately that I was in for a real literary treat, the story line captivated my attention right from the start and had me flying through the pages, and left me with a new found appreciation for hockey players! The chemistry between Ryan and Chloe was undeniable from the start and it burned brightly from start to finish, definitely a VERY impressive first read for me, and one that will linger with me for quite a while. I highly recommend you give this story a chance, you will NOT be disappointed!
